Duke running back Nate Sheppard etched his name into the program's record books on Saturday, delivering a historic touchdown run in the Blue Devils' matchup against in-state rival NC State.
The record-setting play occurred during the November 7 contest, though specific details of the record — whether for longest run, most rushing touchdowns in a season, or another category — were not immediately detailed in the initial report.
Sheppard's achievement adds another chapter to the heated Tobacco Road rivalry between the two North Carolina programs. The Fayetteville Observer's Anna Snyder reported on the milestone, which was highlighted by Yahoo Sports.
Further details on the exact record broken and the game's final outcome are expected to follow as postgame coverage continues.
